Information

Join us for a hands-on elective workshop for all those interested in rain garden design, installation, and native plant selection. Rain gardens are landscaped depressions that collect water runoff and allow it to infiltrate, thereby reducing erosion and flooding. These low maintenance native plant gardens can be constructed at nearly any home site.
The workshop will focus on the benefits of rain garden, their design construction, and maintenance and native plant selection. The workshop will include the installation of a rain garden at the SC Botanical Garden, so be prepared to plant and get dirty! We will also learn some bog gardening basics. Taught by Dr. Sarah White, Clemson University, Kathy Bridges, South Carolina Botanical Garden, and Cathy Reas Foster, South Carolina Native Plant Society.
